---
사건 개요
회생절차 중인 회사가 근로자를 상대로 부당이득금 반환을 청구한 사건입니다.
- 퇴직금 명목 지급금: 매월 170만원씩 총 2,040만원
- 초과 지급 임금: 4일 근무에 대해 1개월분 급여를 지급하여 1,624만원 초과 지급
---
핵심 쟁점과 법원 판단
1️⃣ 퇴직금 명목 지급금의 효력
법원 판단: 무효 → 부당이득 반환 대상
- 회사가 확정기여형 퇴직연금제도를 설정하여 근로자 근무 기간에 해당하는 부담금을 모두 납부했음
- 별도의 "퇴직금 명목" 월급은 법적 근거가 없으므로 근로자가 반환할 의무 있음
- 2,040만원 반환 판결
2️⃣ 초과 지급된 임금
법원 판단: 초과 지급분 반환 필요
- 근로자는 4일만 근무했으나 1개월분(2,030만원) 급여를 받음
- 실제 근무에 해당하는 406만원만 정당한 지급액
- 1,624만원 반환 판결
3️⃣ 근로자의 반박 주장
법원 판단: 모두 기각
| 주장 | 결과 |
|------|------|
| 합의금으로 충당했다 | 증거 부족으로 인정 거부 |
| 추가 퇴직금 청구권 있다 | 확정기여형에서는 미납 부담금 차액만 청구 가능 |

확정기여형 퇴직연금 설정 시 주의사항
- 별도의 "퇴직금 명목" 월급은 무효 (이중 지급 효과)
- 미납 부담금이 있으면 차액 + 지연이자만 청구 가능
- 평균임금 재산정을 통한 추가 퇴직금 청구는 불가
